One biographer, their name escapes me, wrote: "Everyone wants to be either Mick or Keith, but what not everybody knows is that both of them want to be Charlie. " I may be guilty of a misquote, but that was the gist of it.
Charlie was an artist before becoming a drummer. CR stands for Charles Robert. RIP Sweet Charlie. 💔 Charles Robert Watts (2 June 1941 - 24 August 2021) Hope to see ya in another universe Charlie. Certainly NO one was more humble than dearest Charlie. A true gentlemen with class. So sorry for his wife, family & closest friends. Heart will be heavy for some time. On a personal note: I can't imagine Charlie not having a room in his house not set up with his drums and music collection. I can't believe Shirley could stop him from having a drum kit in his house to play as we willed.
Charlie Watts was never the most flashy drummer. He wasn't known for the frenzied solos of Cream's Ginger Baker, or for placing explosives in his kick drum like The Who's Keith Moon. Instead, he was the subtle, stoic heartbeat of The Rolling Stones for almost 60 years. We all Brazil fans will miss Charlie... RIP 🇧🇷
He was the very fucking best, period! Solid human being and the best example of someone working for the good of the whole. Sum of the parts. Didn’t miss a beat for 58 years.
A bit more of trivia: Charlie was a huge fan of the American Civil War and had amassed quite a valuable collection of artifacts from that time. Along with Shirley they raised Arabian horses and also dogs. No wild parties and such; he loved a quiet home life. I have a deep respect for the man. Mick probably had that right hook coming for a long time.
My niece was studying to be a veterinarian in London back in the late 1990s. One of her rotation assignments was to a horse farm. When she got there, as the newest student, she was told her first assignment was to tend to a horse that was recovering from surgery. She wound up staying in the barn all night with that horse and the next morning a car with the horse's owner and his wife pulls up. It was Charlie Watts and Shirley.
How can he not be called one of the greatest drummer's of all time...he played his whole life with one of the greatest bands of all time...rip Charlie u will be missed...
@@allysonhanks9159 Perfect day today, top down on the Camaro all day. Blue skies and 78 degrees. More of the same for the rest of the holiday. Golf tomorrow. The Greater Cleveland Air Show is in town.
@@TheGeorgia53 Nice to meet you Daryl. I'm Allyson from Long Beach, CA. I'm looking for new friend and I saw your photo here. I hope you don't mind us chatting sometimes to get to know each other.
Absolutely wonderful man and to be the drummer in the greatest Rock and Roll band in the world is really something. All condolences and love to his family, friends and colleagues at this sad time. 😢❤️
In short a beautiful, magical renaissance man. He truly will be missed. RIP Charlie, you brought so much joy to all. Stay in the Love & Light where you belong...
As a bassist I found that most of my favorite Stones songs were because of Charlie Watts drumming style and his meter. Its a joy to listen to a drummer of his caliber, so solid and smooth.
“The world’s greatest rock and roll band”; with a drummer who preferred jazz. Fascinating band . Condolences to the Watts family. So many great sounds emanating from a small drum kit.
Thank you for posting this wonderful glimpse into some of Charlie's fascinating facets of his life. I've loved The Rolling Stones right from the beginning in the early 1960s. All of the band members & every single bit of their music & talent. Charlie always had a special place in my heart & he still does.
I'm 72. When Mickey Mantle passed it hit me hard. But for some reason... this passing made me cry... really hard. A chunk of my youth is gone. But what a blessing... having the Stones music in my life as a High School boy. "I Can't get No Satisfaction." Nope... I got a bunch. Charlie Watts... Thank You!!!
Charlie Watts is emblematic drummer in group rolling stones , very good drummer, with discretion in PLAY, no strongs demos SOLOS, but inspiration AND influences jazz ONLY, dear idol Charlie,r.i.p. in stars paradise forever. RESPECT since from family WATTS. Jackyfan. France.
He was just perfect for the Stones. A great inspiration with that clever hi-hat 'lift' of his....I hope they continue but there will never be another Charlie. RIP
They survived the death of Brian the death of Ian the death of Bobby keys and the departures of mick Taylor and bill Wyman and now Charlie. They are survivors and they will survive
I turned 72 in the last week of June and can still clearly Listening to the amazing new group on Radio Luxembourg , called The Rolling stones. I was 13 years old back then. I adored their music then and love it still. I was so shocked and so very saddened to learn of Charlie's passing a few days ago. Dear Stones, thank you for so many years of so much wonderful music...
I was sad to see the news of the death of Charlie Watts. I convey to his family, members of The Rolling Stones and also to fans, my sincere condolences . I was and still am a fan of this band. Lord, give him eternal rest. Charlie, rest in peace. You'll always remember in my memory just like John Lennon or George Harrison of The Beatles. Condolences from Poland
Well said. I saw the alert on my phone that day and couldn’t believe it. Someone so…timeless…didn’t see it coming, I don’t think anyone really did. As Paul McCartney said, he knew he was sick but not that he was *that* sick. I truly do wish Charlie peace. He left one hell of a legacy.
Words can’t say enough. Thank you Charlie for being the backbeat for thousands of hours of musical heaven. I always had a fantasy of meeting you. Perhaps in the next life.
This is a great video on a beautiful tribute but one important piece missing: Mr. Watts also collected historical drum memorabilia. Drums and drum gear owned and played by the very greatest historical jazz drummers going back probably to the 1920s. I hope a book or museum collection of what he gathered becomes available and visible - what a thrill that would be. I am a drummer myself, a jazz player, and I really respect and love Charlie, he will be sorely missed. I wish peace and healing to his family and band brothers, The Rolling Stones - The greatest rock ‘n’ roll band of all time.
I’m gathering your writing about his jazz band, because it’s just under 60’s years with the Stones. Thanks for sharing as I’m going to check out the jazz group.
I believe Charlie is in heaven jamming with Ian and Brian and all the jazz greats that Charlie loved 🥁🥁🥁.❤️ Thank you Charlie for being a Rolling Stone ⭐️
Charlie Watts is an incredible and interesting man. Charlie is a phenomenal drummer. Charlie was the backbone of the stones. He's the glue that kept them together . Charlie you will be remembered forever 🎉🎉. RIP,Charlie Watts, we love you🎉🎉
The Stones as a unit were torn up with Bill Wyman's retirement. Now they're finally over.It's sad, but they're just a greatest hits packet now. RIP Charley. You will be missed.
Class all the way. Honored to the end by the announcement first mentioning, "cherished husband, father and grandfather" and only after that adding "and also" member of the Stones. And one has to respect that scenario of first getting properly groomed and dressed *before* going out to beat some sense into the deserving. As a gentleman does.
Am from Nashville pedigree-born ('71) & raised & was a professional musician 4 a # of yrs, & never really thought he was that exceptional on tape, film, or even from side-stage when couldn't get a tik once, UNTIL was blessed 2 finally catch him live, head-on n '15, & blew my mind! Was all I could talk about 4 days after! Reminded me of Phil Rudd of AC/DC n that he proved u don't have 2 b Neil Peart or John Bonham 2 b 1 of the GOAT'S! & that's EXACTLY what he was! RIP CHARLIE! ✌ ❤ 🚬
So sad to learn this today, 8-25-2021. My heart gos out to his family. The man had a lot of class. Wish I could have talked with him throughout the years. My kind of English man. God bless you Charlie Watts and thank God he brought you into this world. Tons of love to your family. XO
I've ALWAYS LOVED Charlie, but I didn't really KNOW him - "There's SOMETHING about Charlie", Can't put my finger on it - but he really is MARVELLOUS - And I've only come to REALIZE - meaning to MAKE REAL IN MY MIND - HOW marvelous - what a BEAUTIFUL MAN he is! GOD BLESS YOU Charlie Rest In Peace
i still find it hard to believe Charlie is gone, i mean so hard to explain when you grew up in the 70's of course it was the stones my fv band of all time-i always saw Charlie as a quiet man but loving what he did and always a true legend ! as it says every picture tells a story and i'm sure Charlie had his story..deep respect for his man,prayers for his family and of course is stones family will miss you Charlie Watts may you rest in eternal peace ~~~~
The heart beat of rock has ceased to palpitated!.....I hope the remaining Stones (Mick,and Keith) can survive a heart transplant!...R.I.P. Charlie Watts!...you can NOT be replaced, and you will certainly be missed!....love from Texas to the family!
Charlie's playin' on "Satisfaction", sealed the deal for me. I was goin' to be just like Charlie. No flashy solos ... that was nonsense. But I strived, to get good enough; to make my bandmates, sound at their best. Otherwise what's the point. Thanks for leading the way, Charlie - Rest in Peace.
RIP Charlie....You will be remembered for many things. History will remember you for your contribution to Rock & Roll. An incredible band that went on through the ages. The Rolling Stones will remain as one of, if not The greatest rock and roll band ever. Thanks for the music.....
@Dios Man do l ENVY YOU.I would Really have Loved to have met CHARLIE WATTS.ONE COOL CAT.ONE MOST EXCELLENT DRUMMER. VERY SPECIAL MAN.GONNA MISS HIM,SSOOO MUCH.LOVE TO SEE HIS CAR COLLECTION AND CIVAL WAR MEMORABILIA. TAKE CARE AND STAY WELL AND SAFE. Walter B.Memphis. 🥁📀🎼😛☠❤💯
While you did mention his marriage, it would definitely be worth noting that Charlie always maintained that he was completely faithful to his wife. I wonder how many guys having women continually throwing themselves at them (particularly when they're on the road, away from home) could say that. If anything, even more than his drumming, that deserves to be acknowledged as his most amazing accomplishment for which he has always earned my respect.
I read that when he visited the Playboy Mansion, he went to the game room to play pool. He didn't care to frolic with the women there. He was a special kind of man.
Wonderful drummer and human being. I always enjoyed his interviews breaking down the dynamic of the band, especially the relationship between Richards and Jagger. He said that Keith Richards was the leader of the Stones, while Mick Jagger was the frontman. Makes me wonder if Charlie Watts was the foundation for that relationship to endure.
Charlie R. Watts I am very sad that you are not within us in this world. You together with the Rolling Stones made part of my generation. I found you the most beautiful, serious, of the R. Stones . RIP 🙏
I think it's time to retire the Stones. There are only 2 left out of the original five. So, hard to think of them as the Stones. Jagger and Richards tour as Jagger and Richards (or Vice Versa or as Versatile Vice).

Reaching 80 is a feat in of itself, but to be a Rolling Stone for almost what? 60 Years of that truly must have been an amazing life, and I'm sure he enjoyed every minute if it. To be an intragal part of Rock and Roll history will be his legacy, and likely not to be forgotten as the drummer in one of the most influential bands to come across the pond besides the Beatles. He's probably singing "I'm just waiting on a friend "
Not only a great drummer but also a real gentleman.
Loved Charlie.. He carried himself with a quiet, reserved dignity. A class act. He will be missed but never forgotten.
One biographer, their name escapes me, wrote: "Everyone wants to be either Mick or Keith, but what not everybody knows is that both of them want to be Charlie. " I may be guilty of a misquote, but that was the gist of it.
I'm not quite 70 and Charlie Watts has been in most of those years keeping time to the soundtrack of my life..Thanks Charlie

While you did mention his marriage, it would definitely be worth noting that Charlie always maintained that he was completely faithful to his wife.

If anything, even more than his drumming, that deserves to be acknowledged as his most amazing accomplishment for which he has always earned my respect.

Reaching 80 is a feat in of itself, but to be a Rolling Stone for almost what? 60 Years of that truly must have been an amazing life, and I'm sure he enjoyed every minute if it. To be an intragal part of Rock and Roll history will be his legacy, and likely not to be forgotten as the drummer in one of the most influential bands to come across the pond besides the Beatles. He's probably singing "I'm just waiting on a friend "
Well done. Well said. RIP Charlie. You're in Heaven.
